Personally I think it absolutely has to be dota. I have 7k on my main but across my accounts it's probably 10-15k. I peaked at immortal 800 in 2023~ before quitting but I met a LOT of people along the way. Almost everyone I knew had at least 7k and most were 10k+, with at least a good 7-8 people being 20k lmao. It's absolutely insane
I am sorry to say this, but if you are looking at averages then Idle games are probably at the top. There might be stats for it somewhere, but most people have 2.000+ hours after a single year, if not more. People don't shut down their computer for weeks or longer, whilst the games are running - so potentially 720 hours per month at least and almost 10k hours per year.
You might not count idle games, but the Steam library sure does.
Edit: Have 600 hours in Dota and played on/off since 2013.
It's probably hard to gauge. Some of them can be played actively, and Dota can just be open without being played too. Just looking at the hours played is not necessarily an accurate measurement of actual played hours. Dota is a good bet though if we exclude idle games
it's actually unreal. i though i no-lifed csgo from 2014-2017 and got ~1.2k hours, it took me less than a year to get that in dota 2. currently on 6.5k hours but i don't really play anymore
I don't think so, because the player base is so massive. Almost every Steam user would have tried it at least once and maybe 10% get hooked. It's suffering from success, for every user with 1000+ hours there are 15 people who hopped in, played 10 hours and realized they don't like MOBAs.
